Restore ability in ArcGIS Pro to resize, adjust the width of, multiple table fields. BUG REPORT

DavidWheelock2

Restore the ability of ArcGIS Pro to resize multiple table fields in one step.

This is a new BUG introduced at ArcGIS Pro 3.X.
Current version: 3.0.2

ArcMap X.X and ArcGIS Pro up to 2.9 and nearly all other apps have the following behavior.
When you select multiple fields in a table, if you then resize one of the fields in the selection, then all of the selected fields will then be resized to the same width as the adjusted field, or if you double-click between two fields then all of the selected fields will adjust to best fit the width of the field contents. This makes it possible to resize a whole table with a few mouse clicks.

Before resize, all fields wide:

After resize, all selected fields adjusted: CORRECT

ArcGIS Pro 3.X breaks this behavior.
Now, at 3.X if you select multiple fields and resize one of the fields in the selection, Pro only resizes that one field and fails to resize the other selected fields. So, if you have a table with many fields, it can be very, very tedious and time-consuming to resize them appropriately.

After resize, only one selected field adjusted: WRONG

I really sympathize with this issue. Since upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 3.0 this is now my biggest pet peeve with Pro. I would also like to see a fix to this.

@KoryKramer, here's a new one.

Hi @DavidWheelock2 I apologize that you ran into this. As you've pointed out, this is a regression bug as the functionality was there and was lost in the move to 3.x.

We have the following bug logged: [BUG-000152652: Cannot resize multiple fields at once from the table view]

Because this is a bug, I'm closing this "idea." Please refer to the ArcGIS Ideas Submission Guidelines and Statuses "2. No bugs please.

All that said, we'll get this fixed.

Thank you!

Thanks @KoryKramer.

I've been in ArcGIS Ideas since the beginning and didn't realize bugs weren't appropriate here. I'll watch for that in the future.

Can you add me to the Bug report and post a link to it as an interested user so that I can check on its status?

Thanks,
David
